Hey guys,

For this question do you think it's ok to say "I was a semi-finalist in the 2018 Aspiring Solicitors Commercial Awareness Competition, placing in the top ten percent of students across 70 universities"? I know its more of an achievement than an award/prize since I did not win but wondering if it works for this question.
Thanks!!
 
Is there a normal extra-curricular question in the application? It's a bit of a stretch to fit this in here, although I see many candidates do.
